Next Generation: Little Moments and Forgotten Memories – Chapter 11

Bonjour, mes chéries! This is Victoire's first drabble ;) It's set somewhere in Victoire's fifth year, and Teddy's seventh. It's when he is dating Marcy Everwood to get over Victoire (Read 'You' again if you are confused). VIC POV!

NOTE: I know I previously said that the events of 'Last' may not be connected to my story, The Next Generation: A Year in Time, but I know for sure that some parts of 'You' will not add up. Everything up to Teddy asking Victoire out will work with the Next Gen timeline (especially his secret love for her), but they AREN'T together in Next Gen. Therefore, the marriage and engagement and stuff is LIMITED TO THE DRABBLE for now. In Next Gen, he does kiss her (like canon – James sees them) but then he blushes and runs away. Probably. But they aren't together by then, and they aren't together by Next Gen, much to the annoyance of their families (namely Andromeda, Molly, Fleur and Lily)

NOTE OVER ;)

DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I don't own it :)

Prompt: Needed

Character: Victoire Weasley

I needed him. I needed him so much it terrified me.

I'm not the girl who always needs a boyfriend. In fact, I'm pretty damn independent.

To be honest, guys have always needed me. I've been called many awful things because of my 'distance and indifference' to my boyfriends.

I'm not indifferent. I'm just not the 'clingy' girl these guys are used to.

I've never needed them. Not like I need him.

I've always been the 'pretty veela chick' to the ones that don't know me. But to all my true friends and family, I'm Victoire.

I take after my name, Victory, and I don't lose. I fight for justice and I don't care about who your family is, or what part you played in the war.

I'm a part veela and I work with my Aunt Hermione. My best friends in the whole world are Cara Zabini, Teddy Lupin and Jasper Wood.

And – Rose says she's known since she was five, and she's probably right – there is only one person in the world who I want to spend the rest of my life with. He has turquoise hair and has been there for me all my life.

No jokes. Too bad he's stuck on someone else.

The problem is, he's the only one who could ever say no to me. Well, the only unrelated male who could ever say no.

It wouldn't matter, anyway, because I'm not a boyfriend stealer. It's completely against my principles.

I'm not Lahlia Curellen, I'm Victoire, and I don't do that. So I guess I'll just watch and break.

Because I can't move on from him, I know that. And I need him around, so I'll pull on my mask so he'll stick around.

All I can do is watch him live his life with a girl who isn't me. So what if I break?

It doesn't matter if I can't glue myself back together. At least breaking reminds me of him.

I'll never forget Teddy Lupin, not as long as I live.
